Power steering problems
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 2:57 pm
I am new to this forum so please accept my apologies in advance if the question has already been answered.
My Power steering is playing me up in so far as it appeared to have stopped working i.e. about a week a go the steering became harder to turn particularly on downward slopes or flat surfaces. Going upwards this seemed to be ok but again it became more and more stiff to the point on all levels it felt that the steering became unpowered.
There appears to be no leaks of fluid in either the steering resevuoir or the gearbox. I did top it up to the maximum position to see if this helped. Little difference appeared but in the last day it seems to have rectified itself, this is after 4 days.
I am worried that it will revert back to the problem and I would like to avoid this. Does anybody know what caused this and if so how do I prevent this from reaccuring.
